EE is heating up, and Braun has definitely been better than Stanton so far. With Stanton's power, that has the potential to change fast. I would prefer EE over Votto mores than I like Stanton over Braun however, so I would be inclined to take that deal.

Glad to hear your team has turned it around!

See if you can counter though with a little extra coming your way. Almost no one starts out with their bottom line deal right off the bat.

Agree. The other owner is probably trying to buy low on Stanton. As long as he's actually healthy, he's too good a player to keep struggling like that.

Been offered McCutchen for my Blackmon.

[Eskimo Brother]

Cutch has been colder, Blackmon has been hot. In a shallow league like this it's close. Where are you in the standings and how many make the playoffs?

[gooding74]

I also think it's close. I own both players on one of my teams and I'm currently playing Blackmon over McCutch.

In a single-season league, this deal would only be worth considering if you need serious help with your power numbers and are willing to roll the dice a bit. McCutch has lost some speed, but he could still break out as a power hitter this season. Blackmon is significantly better at getting on base and running, and his power numbers aren't that bad either. I'd probably pass.

Here's a good read on McCutch's situation.

Currently third (in a 6 team league). I think top four make it. Record is 6-6 (the first place team was the only person in this league who actually knew what they were doing when we drafted, lost 3 times to him so far.).

In that case you can't really complain about being 6-3 against the other 4 teams. Nice job so far.

Second place in the league currently. Really turned it around. Traded deadline is tomorrow and just got offered a very good deal (at least I think so). My only SS is Desmond (SS,OF).

Trade is:

I give up :

Kris Bryant 3B, OF
Yoenis Céspedes OF (I literally picked him up as a FA three days ago.. remember its a 6 team league)
Kenta Maeda SP (really just a throw in)

FOR.. wait for it:

Bryce Harper OF
Xander Bogaerts SS
Adrián Béltre 3B

[Eskimo Brother]

I would do that. You have the Harper/Bogaerts manager panicking with his slumping guys. Take advantage of it!
How far off of first place are you?

[venom7107]

2.5 games behind. My record is 12-6-1, his is 15-4. His team has been slumping of late, and I started the season off 0-4.

[Eskimo Brother]

Sounds like come playoff time you can give him a good run for first!

[venom7107]

So I should do it right?

[venom7107]

Okay in the end, the trade was

I give up:

Davis
Maeda
Bryant

He gives up

Harper
Beltre
Bogaerts


Win....?

[Eskimo Brother]

Yeah I would still have taken it. Nice job
